It's also probably somewhat difficult to gank on Rengar pre-6, and his post-6 ganks are only strong if you have enough burst. | ||

I know that's why I said you should only do it if you are dead set on jungling.That was the point of discussion. Like people were trying to convince me diana jungle is sooo good.It's like yea but you can go mid and kill people,outfarm everyone on the map and roam so what's the point. But yea oddone is jungling rengar so people started the talk about q vs W max in the jungle. | ||

The only reason to use AD marks is for smoother lasthitting during laning phase. Which is a fine reason, but trying to twist them into being good for anything else is stupid. | ||

A sub-reason is that the older carries like tristana/ashe dont really have that great of AD scaling while new champs like graves and new ezrael and new corki have some pretty beast scaling with AD, but the latter 2 dont even do physical damage with the abilities...its magic damage. So the armor pen is less universal... | ||

The AD rune buff happened in October 2010. The major shift to AD marks happened around the time the new masteries came into place, in November 2011. You're telling me it took pro players A YEAR to save for a set of 205 IP runes? | ||

Which is just wrong. ArPen is still mathematically stronger for vs. Champion DPS at relevant AD/enemy armor values. This is true even after you have Last Whisper. AD reds are just that shitty. The only reason to use AD marks is for smoother lasthitting during laning phase. Which is a fine reason, but trying to twist them into being good for anything else is stupid. And early game, they are. I don't think he ever said they were better vs champions lategame. | ||

He used the % ArPen mastery and the poor stacking of % ArPen with flat ArPen as the reason. Which only is remotely relevant in lategame situations where % ArPen is relevant. | ||

Theorycraft is a powerful tool, but only if you have the basic mathematical and scientific competency to use it properly. A lot of would-be theorycrafters fail on the math, and most of the rest have trouble coming up with practical scenarios or interpreting their results correctly. You can't have a complete picture with theorycraft alone, but then you also can't have a complete picture without it. | ||

He had done the math and saw how stupidly efficient it was. It took ages for the power of Aegis to sink in to the community.

I think theorycrafting has trouble taking utility into account, but overall is def a good tool to have. I tend to do a lot of stuff based on instinct tho, and leave the actual math stuff to you/yango/smash/etc :D. | ||

Ryze can build Mercs and stack negatrons and still do a million damage. Pretty late to this, but I'm not sure why you think that Swain can't build early mr as well. If Swain is really losing his lane/struggling, he can get away with building mercs/chalice/SV. You do not need a lot of ap early on as Swain to do a ridiculous amount of damage. His level 6 is very dangerous if he gets w>e>q+ignite>ult all at once. Also, since Fizz is pretty much an all in champion, you better be sure you're going to kill Swain, or else you're 99% likely to be killed in the process. Basically, Swain has a bit more room than some other aps early on. Sure, going SV quickly may not be the most ideal thing on him, but he can get away with it, where most aps wouldn't. | ||

I don't think maxing E before Q is good in any matchup,pretty sure your supposed to go R>W>Q>E because E doesn't get any cd reduction with lvls,the slow/stun time increase isn't that huge and it's not really a good nuke,the amount of slow on it also never increases it's always 60%. Q gets tremendous cd reduction with lvls and allows you to chase people down so easy.+it scales with ad | ||
